Presentations

Buchenwald - There was a lot of good information given in this presentation. I had heard about the lampshade thing before, but never specifically about the "Bitch of Buchenwald". Was she know for anything else that gave her this title? And although it's a grotesque thought, what has happened to the lamps that they did find? I would imagine they were either destroyed or put in a museum somewhere.

Auschwitz - I never realized the camp was divided into smaller sections. I guess it makes sense that not only are men and women kept separate, but also Russians, Polish, etc. With so many prisoners are there any statistics on how many prisoners, if any were able to escape?
